Trying to be perfect by following all the rules is the surest way to realize how imperfect we really are. 

Ironically, the harder we strive to live by the law, the more we see our own flaws. As Romans 3:20 says: "For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin." 

This verse shows us that trying to follow all the rules doesn't make us right with God—it just helps us see how much we need His grace. Ready to embrace the deeper truth of faith? Follow "Holy Contradictions" for daily doses of divine insight with a twist of irony!
